I haven't actually seen the first embarrassingly, but the person I went with said he felt it was weaker. There were a load of good action sequences though - happy to answer any specific questions.
Ok, but this is by far the most interesting thing in the film so bare that in mind/don't read if you hate spoilers.
yes, the end credit shows Eddie and Venom in a house on the beach having gone into hiding after defeating Carnage. Venom says he can show Eddie 1 second of what him and his kind have been through and does. Suddenly everything changes and a TV is on. It shows Tom Holland's spidey and Venom says 'I hate that guy' and licking the screen aggressively - cut to black. I guess Venom is officially in MCU and a film with him/spidey is next.
I'm not quite sure how to describe it that detail. Eddie starts to look visibly uncomfortable and something happens (I'm not sure if the implication is he's now somewhere else or what. But a person comes out of the bathroom in the hotel room he's in and asked what he's doing in his room which implied to me he was teleported somewhere different to before.
So basically they're going the Marvel Netflix approach with the MCU tie-ins (they try to be in the MCU, but Marvel Studios doesn't officially recognize it in the movies).
Thanks for making the thread!
Hopefully it wont be too long until we have a good understanding of how the MCU and SSU (?) are connected. I'm still gonna theorize that they're the same universe, Sony just has some limitations on what characters and events they can and can't reference in their own movies.
No, absolutely fine. Do feel a bit bad as I know it is the major moment from the film that I'm sure they wanted people to experience in cinemas (in fact, Tom Hardy said as much in the screening) but at least it is only in here.
i bet you 100$ that the Doctor Strange movie will somehow diegetically explain how Tom Holland Spidey ends up meeting Venom. I would not be surprised if he's ejected from the MCU and into the Sony-verse.
My bet is that Venom ends up in No Way Home and when he get's back to his dimension a small fragment of the symbiot hets stuck in the MCU world and in the after credits scene Peter gets attatched to it and then in the 4th Spidey movie Miles Morales becomes a new Spiderman and has to fight black suit Peter Parker or Parker ends up in Venom Universe and now we get Miles in the MCU instead. I am tired beyond tired. I'm going to sleep now. I thinks it's for the best.

Don't feel bad lol, idk how many people were at the screening but I'm sure everything's gonna be everywhere anyway very soon if they indeed didn't make people sign a NDA.

For anyone interested, Andy said this to IGN at the Event:
Everyone wants to know when Venom is going to meet Spider-Man, personally, it's not going to happen. I'm kidding. It's going to happen, the question is when. We don't want to rush it.
This kind of bullshit is exactly why I was disappointed that Venom made bank and got this weird hype despite having bad action, bad characters, bad dialogue, and a bad story.
And the person in the OP who saw both thinks the sequel is WORSE?

I unironically like splintered canon like this, so I'm kinda glad we now have Sonyverse stuff mucking up the corners of the MCU, since Netflix is gone.
What? How? Why one second? Also, Venom hates his kind!

Why is he licking the TV? How does he know TH Spidey? What teleported him there? Why is he licking something he hates? What is the point of any of this?
I don't really mind venom crossing over but without the brock parker feud before he gets the suit it kind of loses everything about that relationship, both between parker and brock and even with the symbiote and peter always being the first host. "I hate that guy" isn't really gonna cut it
but dumber comic shit has worked before and it's all in the execution
Without getting into how I feel about the movie itself, I just wish we could have gotten Holland's take on the Black Suit storyline first. Build up to venom naturally y'know?

It is an aggressive lick like a 'I'll get you' type thing. If you read what I cross quoted it seems like it is actually multiverse related what created the change.
They should go current comic venom where he can transport himself into every symbiote being and be everywhere in the universe at once, I always hoped it would become a thing with multiverse stuff
